It comes down to results. No one complains about paying as long as there are

This is a late response, but if only 7% of property taxes go to
education, what's all the b*tchin about? Not you personally, whine
and moan about the school system, here, most of whom have NO kids,
attending school here! So $504.00 of your 7200, for instance, goes to
a system, that with Abbott
It makes me angry. All that money they are spending, not to mention
my property taxes are $7200 for a tiny house, and the scores are
horrible... And if I have kids in the relatively near future, I
cannot send them to school here. So I would either pay super high
property taxes plus private
I wonder if the kids are aware of how much a year is spent on each of
them? It would be an interesting survey a teacher could conduct with
his or her class.
Maybe the school district should spend a day showing them how much
that money would buy in the real word, compare it to other schools,
Hoboken was pretty bad too, until recently. I wonder what happened
in Hoboken to finally turn things around in the school. Anyone know?

gentrification, although never quite had the crime rate/poverty that

As Ho? Or did something else happen?
Yea - look across the harbor. someone
Yes, clearly it is the proximity to the city that is the draw, while
here it is proximity to the ocean. The question that I was asking
was... What finally made the school system turn around and start
putting up some decent #s. According to this article, Hoboken is
still in the Abbott Program
7% of our property taxes go to the schools, the rest is state
money...
But think about is, my house is less than 1200 feet.. I only pay
slightly less in property taxes than my parents do for a 4 bdrm, 4

That's the problem with the system:
88% of the costs are born
by the town (like bergen and the rest of the non-abbotts
Ap used to be only 3%.
AP has zero tax base (minimal)
Then they should stop with all the abatements? And maybe re-assess
so that we are all paying our fair share?
Take this house, for eg. It is comp to mine, sort of, same
neighborhood.. And they pay $3000 less than I do. I have seen big
houses that pay less. (BTW- I

You got my point exactly right, Oak. The district was naturally
diversified by natural geograpghy for almost 100 years.
Then government intervened and segregated it by race and socio-
economic class.
I will credit Randy Bergmann of the AP Press for giving the issue
some coverage in editorial,

I like wonking. Wonks say what they know, not simply what they think.
Thanks Jennifer

The amount they're spending is sinful, because it isn't being funneled
down to the kids! Does the Administrators present the expenses at
Board Meetings? Who decides how tax dollars are being spent and for
what? If the test scores aren't measuring up, who is called on the
